[android-developers] View.post* methods are not thread-safe

I filed a bug regarding inconsistent documentation of the Thread.post*
methods:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=19143

I'm fine with always using a Handler, as the View documentation
stipulates, but the rest of the View documentation is scattered with
error-prone advise to call the post* methods from non-UI threads --
which has led to NPEs in my own experience.

So I wanted to post this to the list as well as file a bug.
